Practical applications start from very low delivered powers of a few mW in case of medical implants, up to powers of the order of kW in case of charging the electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The key element of the power transfer system is the inductive coupler made of two planar coils of certain (circular or rectangular) shape, located at variable distances from one another. In this paper there are analyzed the inductive couplers used at EV, for transferred powers of kW or tens of kW, with a view to increasing the power transfer efficiency. An efficient design of the inductive coupler may be done only by knowing its parameters in the frequency range in which the system operation is provided.","PeriodicalId":217261,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Applied and Theoretical Electricity (ICATE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129910267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of the protection systems using digital relays imposes an innovative approach concerning the testing, the setting of these relays along with a staff specialized in their firmware. Since, due to the high values of the short-circuit currents it is difficult to test the operation of the relays in situ, for instance in transformer stations or substations, it is mandatory to test and set the digital relays using the injection of secondary currents. The paper presents both the testing procedure that uses special devices for the secondary currents injection along with the test on models obtained from the real grids using the similitude criteria. Since the reporting factors are known, along with the possibility of using the accurate reported value of the real short-circuit current on the model, the tests on model present advantages in relation to the use of the devices of secondary currents injection. The results of the measurements on the model confirm the viability of the last testing method here depicted.","PeriodicalId":217261,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Applied and Theoretical Electricity (ICATE)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123844239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to insure the consumers' demand under these circumstances new, more flexible schemes are necessary for their design. Flexible district cooling systems might facilitate the integration of RES due to a more controlled approach to the cooling loads based on the presence of both absorption and compressor chillers in the operation. The study presented here shows that it is possible to use the two types of chillers in order to ensure a decrease of the power injected by the analysed system, thus allowing a higher quota of renewables in the energy mix. Even more, this power might be recovered very fast, and because of that the analysed trigeneration system might play an important role compensating the power drops of the renewable energies based plants.","PeriodicalId":217261,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Applied and Theoretical Electricity (ICATE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126394846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
